Firmirig. Safurday, Marcf»l2.J977 Pork promotions (Continued from Raje 105] She says her most memorable experience as pork queen took place in Fresno, Calif. Here, she took part in what she thought, would be a two or three minute spot on a radio show. In actuality, the “spot” turned out to be an hour and a half call-in talk show. “What Ididn’t know before I went was that the an nouncer was a vegetarian who hated pork,” she an nounced with emphasis. “And, it turned out that many of his vegetarian Mends called up to have their say,” she continued. “In that hour and a hal£l think I was drained of every ounce of knowledge I had on' pork, and some I didn’t even know I had,” she laughed, almost in relief. In the end, there was only one question which she couldn’t answer. That question concerned the date when ham was first cured. “I looked at it this way,” she said. “No matter why people talked with me - whether it was to learn or poke fun, I got attention for the pork industry, and, hopefully, got some' in formation across at the same time.” After two years of doing promotional work, Terri is somewhat of an expert on the subject, and according to her, the best advertising any commodity can get is to “just let the consumer taste Longwood sets organ concert RENNET SQUARE, Pa. - Clarence Snyder, staff organist at Longwood Gardens, here, will give an organ concert at 8:30 p.m. on March 16 in the ballroom off Longwood’s main con servatory.

Ephrala Exit, new Rt. 222 it.” She is a big advocate of a program which some pork producers are working with entitled, “Pork goes to School.” This is a program where home economics teachers are educated on the value of the product, which they then teach to their classes. “To me, this is saving the time and money it takes to reteach homemakers later,” she remarked. “Also, high school girls love to cook, and whether they want to admit it or not, there is nothing a student likes better to do than to go home and say, “Guess what I learned today.” There was one other point which Terri stressed strongly while she was queen, and still firmly believes in. That was the idea that both producer and consumer must work together. “We must get a basic understanding of what we both want and need, and work from there,” she declared. In her opinion, the meat boycott was a result of “misunderstanding and under-eduation.” „ Now that Terri is no longer a member of the pork in dustry royalty, she plans to settle down and work as a member of the industry, instead. After her schooling at the University of Illinois, she plans to go into some phase of marketing or with private selective breeding. will be available at the door on the evening of the per formance for $1 and will include admission to the conservatories for one hour before and after the per formance.
